Lu Qimu knew better than anyone that Li Yang was the one person in his life who shouldn't have been nice to her.

He was the only person in his life that he could not fall in love with.

However, just now, his heart had softened again.

Especially when she looked at him with wide, innocent, and pitiful eyes.

He let her go again …

Sometimes, he hated himself to the point that he couldn't forgive himself.

But secretly, he was uncontrollably good to her.

Gu Yubai sat by Lu Qimu's side, not saying anything. He only occasionally clinked cups with others and drank some wine.

The private room was noisy and noisy. When Lu Qimu first came in, someone had toasted him and some beauties had even bravely tried to strike a conversation with him. However, from start to finish, he had not responded to anyone.

He just leaned back on the sofa and smoked on his own. His brows were knitted tightly, and his expression was gloomy. Even Gu Yubai couldn't say a few words to him.

Everyone could tell that this lord was in an extremely bad mood.

He didn't dare to provoke them either.

After finishing another cigarette, Lu Qimu stretched out his hand and pressed the butt of the cigarette into the ashtray.

Smoke from lips and breath...

He slightly narrowed his eyes. The green and white smoke caused his vision to become a bit blurry …

He seemed to have returned to that year when he was ten years old, that day.

The summer solstice sky was a deep blue.

There were trees on both sides of the road.

A black Bentley was driving along the main road. Suddenly, the car stopped.

"Young Master, it's Miss Li."

He heard the driver's voice and put down the book in his hand. Through the window, he saw a petite figure.

The girl was no more than five years old. She wore a beautiful pink princess dress and held a rainbow lollipop in her hand. It was so big that it almost covered her face.

The driver asked, "Young Master, do you want to get off?"

He only coldly replied, "Yes."

The driver drove to the side of the road and parked. He got off the driver's seat and respectfully opened the door for him.

He got out of the car and walked over to her.

As he approached, he noticed that her princess dress had been stained and had several large holes in it.

She didn't seem to have noticed his presence. She raised her face and stared blankly at the tree.

He followed her gaze and saw a little bear balloon hanging from a thick branch.

It turned out that she had accidentally released the balloon.

When she finally spotted him, a small, dirty hand grabbed his sleeve.

He was obsessed with cleanliness and instinctively wanted to shake off her hand. However, when he saw her large eyes that were filled with tears, he felt that her pitiful appearance was extremely lovable.

The hand that was about to make a move, suddenly stopped.

Her voice was very soft, but it carried a hint of a sobbing tone. "Big brother, can you help Yang-er carry the balloon?"

Seeing that he didn't have any reaction, she shook his sleeve, "Brother, please. Pang'er just fell down and Pang'er was protecting the lollipop, and the balloon just flew away. But Pang'er really likes this balloon …"

It turned out that she had just fallen to the ground. No wonder her dress was so dirty and her dress was full of holes. However, her little face was surprisingly beautiful, just like a delicate Barbie doll.

Her eyes looked at him innocently and pitifully.

In that instant, it was as if he was bewitched, and his body involuntarily climbed up the tree.

After all, he was only ten years old. He climbed with some difficulty, and his clothes were cut open by the branches, but he still helped her get the balloon in the end and handed it over to her.

She was holding a balloon, and her large eyes were almost crescent shaped …

She smiled happily, her voice crisp. "Thank you, brother!"

He frowned slightly but did not respond.

She passed the lollipop in her hand to her, "Big bro helped me, I'm treating Big Bro to lollipops, they're so sweet and so sweet."

Seeing that he didn't react, she asked doubtfully, "Brother doesn't like it?"

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then frowned, "But lollipops are really delicious. Pang'er thinks that they're the most delicious thing in the world."

Looking at her sad little face, he took it and coldly said, "Thank you."

Her face bloomed like a flower. "Big brother, I'm going home. My home is just in front, come and play with me when you're free, okay?"

He nodded.

"Goodbye then, brother."

Only then did she bounce home with the little bear balloon. From time to time, she would turn around and extend her chubby little hand to bid him farewell.

After seeing her figure completely disappear from his sight, he then walked to the parked car at the side.

The black bentley steadily drove towards the Lu family's mansion.

He sat in the car, turning the rainbow lollipop over and over in his hands.

It was as if he could see a flower.

After a long while, he tossed it like trash onto the seat beside him.

His beautiful eyes narrowed for a moment, and his voice was clear and cold. "Don't tell Father about what happened today."

The driver replied, "Yes."

He added, "All the things I told you to do, keep it a secret."

The driver replied, "Yes."

He then indifferently glanced at the lollipop on the side, casually took a book from the side, and started flipping through it.

After everyone in the room had said their farewells, they left one after another. Finally, only Lu Qimu and Gu Yebai were left.

Lu Chi Mo leaned against the sofa for more than two hours, not moving at all.

Gu Yubai reached out and pushed him, only then did he come back to his senses. He discovered that they were the only two left in the large room.

He took the jacket to the side, stood up, and left. Gu Ye Bai followed by his side, his eyes containing a smile, "What were you thinking about just now? Your soul has already been lost …"

Lu Chi Mo replied expressionlessly, "Nothing."

Gu Yubai sneered. "Bullsh * t."

He coldly threw a word at him, "Scram."

Not only did Gu Ye Bai not mind, but he was actually smiling very happily, "Wait for the meal at Director Liu's place, I'm not going."

Li Yang ate his dinner, took a shower, and sat barefoot on a deck chair on the balcony as he continued to study the script. There were a few scenes that were going to be filmed tomorrow, so she had to memorize every line so that she wouldn't make any mistakes and delay everyone's time.

She clearly didn't understand why the second female lead would let her act in a television show where all the celebrities gathered. It was only because she was like Qin Xi'er that she was asked to act out Qin Xi'er's sister?

However, with such good makeup skills, it shouldn't be difficult to pick a popular one and make some modifications to his face, right?

Just as Li-Yang was lost in thought, a light flashed on his face.

Then she heard the door open...

Lu Qimu had returned?

Normally, he rarely returned here. Sometimes, he wouldn't see anyone for two to three months.

But usually when he wasn't there, she didn't come back.

However, he had just left in the morning and had returned in the evening. This was rather strange.

Lirin put the script away and stepped barefoot on the floor.

Inside the room, the floor was cleaned every day by someone, spotless, but Li Lang went to the bathroom to wash his feet, put on his slippers, and went back to bed. He turned out the lights and went to bed.

Silence returned to the surroundings.

Not long after, Li Yang heard Lu Qimu's footsteps on the stairs. She was very nervous as she held the quilt tightly in her hands.

She was especially afraid of Lu Qimu. He was always sleeping so fiercely in her bed, causing her to feel pain. Every time she thought about it, her whole body would tremble.

The footsteps seemed to have stopped for a second in front of her door, but it also seemed to have passed right through her door. Li Yang couldn't hear it clearly, but she knew that Lu Chi Mo had gone back to his room.

She was relieved and quickly fell asleep.

The next day at work, Li-Yang set the alarm in advance.

When the alarm rang, she got up and quickly packed her bag and went downstairs.

Without even eating breakfast, he was prepared to go straight to the set.

Si Yu hurriedly called out to her, "Madam, breakfast is already prepared in the kitchen. Please eat something before you leave."

"No, I won't make it in time."

Actually, Fu Xiaoya arranged for a car to pick her up. However, she was unwilling to let others know that she lived here, so she firmly refused and promised to arrive on time.

However, Lu Qimu's villa was too far away, and it was in the morning as well. Even if she paid for a taxi on her phone, she might not be able to find one, so she had to leave as soon as possible to catch a taxi.

If it was too late, he would be in trouble.

"Eat before you go."

The man's low voice came from upstairs, and the hand holding the doorknob froze.

Since Lu Qimu had already spoken, did she still dare to leave?

Hearing Lu Qimu's voice, Siyu respectfully called out, "Mister."

Immediately afterwards, he instructed the kitchen to prepare all kinds of breakfast. Lu Qimu, dressed in his housedress, leisurely went downstairs.

Li Yang could only sit obediently at the dining table and eat his breakfast in a proper manner.

Lu Qimu pulled out a chair and sat across from her. This was probably a habit that he had formed over the years. He read the financial newspaper while eating leisurely.

What a life without change, thought Li Yang to himself.

She took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was already late, so she only ate a little bit.

It was just that Lu Qimu ate very slowly. He kept reading the newspapers and occasionally had a bite to eat or to drink.

He did not speak, nor did she dare to leave. She waited and waited for an hour before he finished eating and walked upstairs.

As soon as his figure disappeared from sight, Li Yang rushed out, opened the door, and left.

Lu Qimu crossed his arms and leaned against the window. Through the thin curtain, he saw her flying away. The corner of his mouth had a tinge of a smile.

He seemed to have sensed something and instantly retracted his emotions. His eyes were as dark as ink.

Li Yang ran like mad, gasping for breath and sweating profusely. Finally, he reached the main road. He looked at the time and saw that an hour had passed. In other words, she had been running for an entire hour.

She had tried using her cell phone to call a taxi, but the price had doubled and there was no car nearby.

She seriously suspected that he had done it on purpose this morning.

Even though he knew she was in a hurry, he still asked her to stay for the meal and ate for an hour.

Li Yang stood on the side of the road waiting for a taxi. She didn't know if it was because she was a little unlucky, or because she was waiting for another half an hour, but there wasn't even a single taxi.

His cell phone began to ring. She clicked on it and received a voice message from Tang Guo. "Flooding, I'm already on set. Why aren't you here yet?"

Li Yang suppressed his voice and replied, "Guo'er, I'm waiting for the car at the side of the road. It might take a while."

Tang Guo'er's voice sounded out again, "Yang Yang, hurry up. Sis Xiao Ya is already here."

Li Yang replied with a single word, "Yes."

After waiting for another ten minutes and seeing that there was still no car, Li Yang's heart was already in turmoil.

At that moment, a car passed by her and the window opened. The driver greeted her, "Miss Li, where are you waiting for the car?"
